    Does anybody have any suggestions for reading materials ? We're expected to be at minimum still inside until 11 May, but the rest of
    the country remains closed until at least mid-June.

    I have lately been reading H.G. Wells stories. Just finished War of the Worlds. Before that, I read the Time Machine, the Island of Dr. Moreau,
    and the Invisible Man.

    Before that, I read a couple by Jules Verne... From the Earth to the Moon, and its sequel, Round the Moon.

    I would recommend them all.

    A classic and these days, a must read.

    I actually read "1984" in 1984, because it was on my school reading list that year. And it was definitely time well spet.

    I read it when I was younger. I did not like it nearly as much as Animal
    Farm, which I had read right before it. With it being more "of topic" now,
    it might be time to give it a read again.

    AF is written to be an allegory of the evolution of communism in Russia.
    But it is astonishing how many of the characters in it can represent the players in a Western system

    1984 is a vision of unchecked capitalism. It seems describe today's world very closely.

    Both tell the tale of losing one's rights by following orders blindly and putting faith into one institution.

    Along the same lines, Huxley's "Brave New World".

    I would be more like the Donkey. But unlike the Donkey, I read. :)

    The donkey is like the incredibly brilliant but overwhelmingly depressed robot in The Hithicker's Guide to the Galaxy.
